this is a little thing i did in photoshop. i donāt usually draw fantasy characters, nor make use of the cheesy effects in photoshop (i.e. lens flare, motion blur) but i thought iād go all out with the pic. i used my tablet for this, so it was done entirely in photoshop, since i was basically just doodling until these mass loads of pictures i took with my digicam were done printing. i guess it took about an hour total. hope itās not too corny :elderly:
Thatās ā ā ā ā sweet sonmi! I love the colors; the motion blur and lens flares make it look good, keep them. I suck at drawing, thatās why I stick to 3D and Flash. You should talk to edwin (vts), he is a great artist!
thanks for all the nice comments! i havenāt done a work like this in a long time, mainly because i have steered off into more minimalist and abstract stuff. i just thought iād see what i could do now. i always feel guilty for using effects and filters, because it seems more falsely fabricated and less personal. but i guess thatās going too deep into things. iāve been working with photoshop more these days ever since i came to the board and saw all the great work here. you all have inspired me!
Using Filters for effects doesnāt make it less yours.
Being a trendwhore makes your work less yours. As long as you use everything with your own style and not copying anyone elses, it will be yours.
This one definitely is awesome and all the filters add to the emotion of the picture which makes it even better.
Edwin (vts) is just a normal guy, who actually thinks his work isnāt that great (way too modest). It sounds like you and him draw the same styles of art.
thatās good to hear. see, iām really picky about that for some reason. even to the point where i donāt feel right making logos or just anything with text with someone elseās font on it. i feel like i have to make my own font to make it right, though i know such a thing would be unnecessarily tedious.
like i said in the first post, i donāt normally draw fantasy creatures, but the anime style is one of mine that has been evolving ever since my obsession with sailor moon back in 1995, unfortunate to say
iāve seen some of edwinās stuff, and, with the proceeding comment directed to edwin, i think your art is awesome. and youāre the same grade as me! gah! i have so much to work up to :x
iām intrigued by the battle things. how do they work? does someone just propose a subject and medium and then the artists create something for it and are voted on? iād be interested in trying one, i guess.

Wow same with me. I hate using someone elses fonts.
i think iāll pass on the battle. i donāt really like competition too much or for people to think that iād be able to reach a certain level of technique everytime i create a picture. in any case, i wouldnāt want to propose the battle myself. if someone else were to do it, then i probably would
